I love Monkey Bread! Do you know what Monkey Bread is? I’d never heard of it until last year, then my wife brought home a box of Monkey Bread that you can pop into the microwave and four minutes later enjoy a little taste of Heaven! Mmmmm… Monkey Bread! It’s just a big pull-apart cinnamon [...]

DISCLAIMER: Sarcasm and satire ahead! Sometimes simple math can play tricks on your mind. For example, in the United States Senate there are 100 seats. If they are split by one seat (or one vote), there’s a difference of 2. 50/50 becomes 49/51. A split of two votes makes a difference of four: 48/52. It’s [...]

Here’s your winning ticket for 2012: Romney/Paul. It seems obvious that Jon Huntsman would make a good president, maybe a great one, but he may get muscled out. Newt Gingrich would make a bold president, perhaps a strong one, but he scares too many people when his mouth runs amok. Plus, he converted to Catholicism at [...]

Alas and alack! Woe is us! All is lost! The end is near! Despair grips me like fist clenching a C-note on a windy day! I just can’t go on! I could go on, but I’m beginning to bore myself, so I can only imagine the yawns you are suffering, dear readers. I hope you [...]

“Hope is the thing with feathers,” Emily Dickinson wrote in a famous poem, likening it to a bird “that perches in the soul.” And indeed, “Hope” is in the air, soaring aloft on the winds of “change” once again blowing through Washington as we fly headlong into another stormy presidential campaign. The hope I’m referring [...]

Okay, you know it is bad when other journalists, and frequent guests, are talking about how nutso Chris Matthews has become. What seemed to prompt this outspokenness on their part was the attempt by Matthews to pin the Weiner scandal on Weiner’s WIFE, as if it was her fault her husband is an unethical, perverted, [...]

That is the headline of this entertaining, and accurate, assessment of Obama’s Ireland visit by James Delingpole, “O’Bama? Ph, Puh-lease!“. Many of us saw his visit there as overblown, but only someone in the UK could pull this off: Ah Bejaysus and Begorrah! Oi’ll be swearin’ boi the auld shrine to the Vorgin with the [...]

Update below the fold. I know, I know, that can cover a wide variety of issues, and these days there seems to be no shortage of ones that would merit such a response. But in this case, I am referring to Jack Stuef at Wonkette writing a particularly egregious piece directed at – wait for [...]

* Bumped Up * My eyes honed in like laser beams at the Breaking News. President Obama’s advisor, and MIT economist, Jonathan Gruber was (via AP): “…turning to comic books to help make the pitch for the administration’s embattled health care law.” [snip]…”[with] a defensible text that is fact-based.” Wow! A comic book telling truths about healthcare. Incredible! Brilliant!! [...]

* Bumped Up * (Or the more offensive, homophobic term for Tea Partiers.) Crosshairs! Targets! The list could go on of the labels attached to groups of people or concepts by the media when they want to discount, demean, belittle, discourage discussion, demonize a group, or frame the issue how they want it to be, [...]

The Red Shirts Bring Pain is the eleventh in a series of posts on my misadventures in becoming a police officer. The first in this series is Accidents Happen. I became a police officer while suffering a midlife crisis in my forties. I became a detective a few years later. Crime in my small town [...]

Well, the MSM is at it again – jumping on the slightest little blip by anyone but Obama. We saw this time and time again with Hillary Clinton, especially when she exaggerated her flight into Bosnia. Oh, the media was like a dog with a big ol’ juicy bone – they just could not, WOULD [...]

Yes, it is according to former Californian (and still Birkenstock-wearer), Allysia Finley, in this Wall Street Journal piece, “California Is The Lindsey Lohan Of States.” This is her assessment after the recent election. I must say, she does make some good points in this article: [snip] After enjoying ephemeral highs and spending binges, you suffer [...]

Actually, here are a number of signs, in fact. Allegedly, these are real signs on Northbound I-5 in Washington State, below Seattle (and I wish I knew who to credit for these). With so much going on right now, there is nothing like a little humor to deal with it all, right (even if some [...]
